Tho Central Executive Committee for Anderson County, at the meeting held un Tuesday, 19th inst., passed the follow ing resolution : Resolved, That a County Convention of the Democratic party be called to meet at Anderson C. H. on the first Tuesday in January nrxt, to consider tho situation of public affairs in this State, and to de vise measures for the best interests of the whole people of Anderson County and the St.-'e generally. The basis of representation is the sam? as heretofore, to wit : Each Democratic Club is entitled to one delegate for twenty-five members or under, and an additional delegate for each additional twenty-five members. The delegates will be expected to present credentials from the proper officers of their respec tive Clubs. It is recommended to the several Clubs, whose meetings do not take place between now and the time fixed for the County Convention, that they will hold an extra meeting on Saturday, 80th of December, for the purpose of electing delegates. JAMES A. HOYT, County Chairman. ANDERSON DEMOCRATIC CLUB. President Watt requests us to announce that there will be a meeting of the An derson Democratic Club on Friday night in thc Masonic Hall, at 7J o'clock p. m., to elect delegates to the County Conven tion, and attend to such other business a may bc brought before the Ciub. Ah the members, or persona desiring to join, sre requested to attend promptly. CAROLINA COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE. We would call attention to thc adver tisement of tho Carolina Collegiate In stitute. Parents having sons or daugh ters to educate would do well to place them under the care of Prof. Ligon, who in so well and favorably known as s scholar and gentleman of fine attainment? in our community. He will have ex perienced and competent assistant* during the coming year. THE BAYONET HOUSE. The Mackey House completed its ar duous labors on Friday, and adjourned tine die. Before taking this action, Thomas introduced a preamble and reso lution reciting that the members elected to thc Legislature, who have not qualified before Mackey, were guilty of high con tempt, and authorizing Mackey to declare their seats "vacant and issue writs of elec tion. We are anxious to know who will become candidates under this proceeding in Anderson County. /TITIu finvcrnsTtlirinn 11 '"ires ?llb vvnDiiiOiiviinu ni/sja?i. The last day's proceedings of the Con stitutional House were unimportant. The members decided in caucus not to receive more than one hundred dollars each for their services, in view of the sur rounding circumstances, and the great need of tue public institutions. The members were faithful to their trust, and worked in accord with Gov. Hampton and thc State Executive Committee. Al beven (?'clock on Friday night, the House adjourned tine die. SOUTH GABOLINA CONFERENCE. The ninety-first session of thc South Carolina Conference, M. E. Cbuicb, South, was held at Chester, December 13-18, 187?, Bishop H. H. Kavanaugh presiding. Rev. Wm. C. Power was re elected Secretary. The reports from the j various charges in the State showed grat ifying increase of membership, but the financial reports were cot so favorable, owing to the depression in financial cir cles. Tho several addresses on the sub jecis of Sunday School missions, Ac. "eic uigu?y yrvulinuie io ibo disiiu pished speakers.' Bishop Kavanaugh's address on tho subject.of Missions was an able eflurt, sustaining the reputation of thc distinguished speaker. \- The following ministers were admitted on trial into thc travel connection : Revs. H. Bascom Browne, Erwin G. Price, L. 0. Walker, A. LcGette, UL H. Jones, T. E. Gilbert, A. B. Lee, W. P. Meadors, J. F. Moiingo. The Conference ranks were never tm full a's at present- It is gratify ing tosee that so many laborera are ready for acllv* service. ffbp/ following are the appointments Cor the Greenville District: ^ GREEKVILLB DISTRICT.-O.

Chrleixberg, who has been signed to tho Methodist Church at this pUoe for the coming year, will preach in hl? church on the first Sabbath in Jan? "arv. He graduated recently ot Woflbrd J^leg?, and spent a portion of his bny hnod in Anderson. Our people will be Pleased to have him again in our midst. Christmas week has not been celebra. l?i here Vy any largo entertainments or P531 display. It hos, however, been Tery pleasant despite the weather incon gruence of a number of sociables and "?all dinings. Thc youth of Anderson spent all their ^plus change in flre-tvorka at the time J* Hampton's decHnn, and hence th? j^j^ gio --t?tm?*W-iBiLSf4r be GOVERNOR KABITON. The final adjournment of tibe Initi? ture bring* the question directly before \br people es to whom they will sustain as the lawful Govern or of Sooth Caro lina. Gea. Wade Hampton was duly elected, and has been inaugurated under the forms prescribed by the law. The office bas been usurped by Daniel Ii. Chamberlain, wbo pretends to exercise the powers and pr?rogatives of the Chief Magistrate, and who retains possession of the executive chamber. He is seeking to enforce an unlawful and exorbitant tax levy, imposed by an illegal and un constitutional body known as the Mackey House, and will doubt!*** appoint bis officers in every County to collect the taxes. His appointments have cot been made k lown at this writing, abd We arfe unable to state ?rho is willing to incur the odium of attempting ia collect taxes in Anderson County for tba support ant' maintenance of th? Chamberlain dy nasty. The total levy for Bute and County purposes is said to be 17} mills, which is infinitely greater in amount than any previous tax. The reckless and charneles* extravagance of the past does not equa! the present demand. On the other hand, the Constitutional House has requested the tax-payers to contribute for the support of the legal government under Gen. Hampton an amount equal to one-fourth of last year's taxes, and appointments will be made in every county ot persons to receive this contribution. This fund will be dis bursed under ?he -immediate supervision of Gov. Hampton, and will be used for the maintenance of the penal and chari table institutions of the State, the pay ment of salaries, and the legitimate ex penses of the government. The tax payers will receive a certificate, which will be accepted hereafter io part pay ment of the taxes for tho current year, when the General Assembly is lawfully organized and levies a constitutional tax. Thc issue is thus squarely presented be fore the tax-payers, and we arc confident that the response in Anderson County will be in unison and harmony with the balance of the State. Not one dollar can be paid with safety to the officers ap pointed by Chamberlain, and the iniqui tous demand will be totally disregarded by the people of Anderson. The ueees sity for sustaining Gov. Hampton in his positiou, and the moderate contribution (in consonance with the needs of the tax payers) which bas beeb requested by the Conatitutionj?i Hollie, r?ttdor lt feasible and practicable) for this measure to be put in speedy operation, and its prompt endorsement by the people will tend to weaken the pretensions of Chamberlain and strengthen the hands of Gov. Hamp ton in every respect. We must cut oft the supplies from the usurper and turn them in the direction of the ?awful Gov ernor, whose reliance is mainly upon th? adhesion of the people electing bim, coupled with the right and justice of his position. Every citizen who desire? peace, orucr and the supremacy of lan will promptlyj|declaro allegiance to Gov, Hampton, and respond to the limited de mand for the sustenance of legitimate government. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. Tlie closing procced?npp? of tbs Senat* on Friday last were interesting and im portant. The concurrent resolution fran the Mackey House requesting Chamber Iain to arm, equip and station in Aikci County one hundred State constables wa rejected Mr. lieette, on behalf of thc specia committee to cancel the bills of the Bani of the State, reported that these bills not in the State Trcaury are so cut and muti lated they can never be used again, am that the amount of said billa received fo taxes aggregates thc sum of :S?8,222.3G. Messrs. Jeter and Witherspoon, a mi nority of the Committee on Privilege and Elections, entered a protest on th journal in the matter cf Hon. M. W Gary, Senator elect from Edge li eld Cour ty, declaring the action of the committc aa illegal and unjust, nud again:-*, parlu mentary usage. The committee had rt fused to seat Gen. Gary upon the prim jatie evidence that he was elected, i The Democratic Senators united i several protests. One protest was again, tho exorcise-of the office of President < the Senate hy Richard H. Cleaves, who* term of office as Lieutenant Governor bi expired. Another was against the pa sage of a bill to make appropriations ft the payment of the salary and mileaj of the members of the General Assembl, and the Balarles of the subordinate ofl eera and employ?e?, from which we mal the following extract: The law-making power of the Stale i by virtue of the oonstitetion? vested i the General Assembly, to be composed < the Senate and a House of Represent Uves organized according to ita provision The two houses together compose tl General Assembly. The Supreme Cou nf riiia State-thb court of last resort bas decided that the body over which tl Hon. W. H. Wallace presides as Speak is the constitutional House of Represe tatives, and consequently it must be portion of the General Assembly. Se tit?. 21, article 2, of the constitution say "No bill shall have the force of law un it shall have been read three times, ut on three several days, in each house, h had the great seal of the State affixed it, and nus been signed in the Sens House by the President bf the Sen? ami the Speaker of tho House of Repi ?eiilativc*." Section 22, article 2, ?if the constituti further -ays : "No money shall be' drat from the Treasury but in pursuance an appropriation made by law." We submit that no body of men pre ded over by a private citizen, and wi less than a constitutional quorum, c form any part of tho General Assembl consequently w* protest against the t tion of the Senate in th? pretended p sage of thc bill referred to, and wc gi it us our opinion that it can raver hi the force of law. Mr. Crittenden presented hi* view? . he entered on the journal, ?s a mo?<i . of ibo Judiciary Committee, to win ww referred a communication from Hon. W. D. Simpson, claiming and demand ing, aa the duly elected Lieutenant Gov ernor of the State, bis rigb*., when pres ent, tn preside over the Senate, and an* uouncfng bis presence and readiness to enter upon the discharge of that duty. Whittemore introduced the following resolution : Resolved by tho Senate, That a com* mittce of six. to consist of three from the Republican and three from the Dem* oe ratio party, be appointed by the Pr?si dant cf thc Settite fer ?he purpose of in vestigating the whole matter relative to the legal End constitutional c* sanitation of the two hov???, known an the "Wal lace" ?nd "Mackey" Houses, the said commitvt? to commence the in vetttiisatinn within Un days. Ht? President desired that nominations for members of said committee be made by the Senate. Messrs. Whittemore, Swaiis, Taft, Je ter, Meetze and Witherspoon were nomi nated. The Senate adjourned sine die. THE HOUSE RESOLUTIONS. The following preamble and resolu tions were adopted by the Conr. .itutional House of Representatives on Wtdnesday, 20th inst. Mr. J. C. Sheppard, ."rom the Committee of Ways and Means, pre sented the report, which had been thor oughly considered before introduced. Mr. Sheppard said that the beat legal latent bad been consulted, and the pas sage of thc resolutions was essential to the maintenance of government : Whereas the Organization of the State government is obstructed and hindered y a refusal of a majority of members elected to the Senate to recognize the Hon. W. D. Simpson, Lieutenant Gov* j ernor of Smith Carolina, as their Presi dent, and tiiis Houso of Representatives -recognized by tho Supreme Court as the constitutional body-as the co-ordi* nate branch of the General Assembly, and thereby the passage of the ordinary end necessary legislative enactment) is rendered for tho present impracticable ; and whereas it is esseutial to the peace and dignity of the State and the welfare of the people that the machinery of the government should not be suspended by such extraordinary, unprecedented and revolutionary conduct ol a small portion of one branch of the government; and whereas it ie necessary that ways and means should he devised and provided for the support and maintenance of thc exec utive, legislative and judicial departments of the government, together with such 1 subsidiary or subordinate offices as are or ' may be incident to or inseparably con nected with tho discharge of the ordinary or necessary functions of them, or either of them, and more especially for the sus tenance of the charitable, penal and edu cational t?rtUtttl?tts ofthe State of South C?roUp? ^^^f^^t?^ectivf? counties ??mvKOu fiftwiVjtMmB of Representa tives of tn* Stile Wt Booth Carolina now 1st. that ntl Excellency Wade Hump-, ton, Governor of this State, be, and he is hereby, authorized and required forth with to Issue ht* proclamation calling upon ill faithful, law-abiding and loyal citizens to come forward, and without delay and at such date, and within such time as to the Governor may seem proper, pay to such person or persons as the Governor shall designate and appoint in each county the sum of twenty-five per cent, or one-fourth of the State and coun ty tax, exclusive of any special or extra j tax, in the*respective counties paid by all such persons m and for the last fiscal year. 2d. That for the sum or sums of money that may bo paid by each person under the provisions hereof, proper receipts or vouchers shall be made, executed and delivered by the person or persons duly authorized to receive the same, which receipts or vouchers shall be received as payments of that much of the regular tax when collected or to be collected un der the proper tax act. 3d.

Cochran, of this County, which was entered upon thc journal of thc Sen ate just before adjournment, against tho passage of bills by that body levying and appropriating Rn exorbitant and tineou utitutioaal tax. The points of objection to any such legislation are well made and perfectly conclusive, and the conse quences of persisting in the attempt to collect such tax arc faithfully pointed out as disastrous to the public peace and a fatal step in the direction of anarchy and ruin : As Senator from thc county of Ander son, in tbs conscientious discharge of my duty, and to protect and preserve the constitution and laws of this State, and the right of representation of the citizens from violation and infringement, respect fully submit the following j rotes*, as my reason for voting against tho passage of tho bills levying a tax and appropriating the same, and in conformity with section 2(1 of article 2 of the constitution, ask that the same be spread upon thc journal of the Senate : 1. Because on tho day fixed by tho constitution of thc State for thc General Assembly to meet and organize, in the city of Columbia, for a regular session, an armed force bad surreptitiously taken Dossession in the night time of the State House, and armed sentinels were placed at the various doors of entrance, and per sons, without authority of law, prevented duly elected member* of the House of Representatives from two counties in the State from entering thc Suite House and the hall of the House of Representatives, and thus intentionally and in fact de barred many members from exercising .neir lawful privilege of participating in thc election of officers and in the organi zation of said House. Thia delay and hindrance of the said members and thc time occupied in examining members' certificates prevented, as 1 am credibly informed, other members from entering thc House in timo to prevent an illegal", unconstitutional and partisan organiza tion of that body, contrary to tho spirit And letter of the constitution und laws of the land. 2. Because article 2 of the constitution expressly provides that the House of Representatives shall consist of 124 mem bers, to be apportioned among the several counties, according to the number of in habitants in each ; ai d by section 14, of same article, "a majority of each hou-e shall constitute a quor im to do business," and when the members claiming to be the House of Representatives met and organized, said House did not have a ma jority of 124 members, only 59 members answering to their names, as shown by the journal of proceeding? on that day. Nevertheless the said members arbitrari ly proceeded to organize, without regard to the constitution, and a majority of them have uincc proceeded to puss the several bills hereby pretested agaiust without a legal quorum. S. Because, the said members, claim ing to be a lawful House of Representa tives, in order to obtain the requisite sixty-three members to form a legal and constitutional quorum, have (in my opin ion) admitted persons who were not elec ted by the people, or qualified to servo aa members, from several counties where thc duly elected members failed, for thc reasons before related, to quulify ; this being done in direct violation and con trary to section 29 of article 2 of the con stitution. 4. Because the body passing the bills ?rot est ed against, and claiming to bo the [out? of Representatives, have been vir tually declared by the Supreme Court of the State to bo an illegal and unconstitu tional House of Representatives. 5. Because thc exclusion of members of the Legislature from Laurens ar.d Edgefield Counties by an armed frrce was, in my opinion, in direct viol mina of cation 84 of article 1 of the declaration of rieht* of the State constitution. 6. Because the presence of au armed force from day to day, without tbe ex Sreased consent of tho Genera I Assembly, charring the duly elected representatives of the people aud citizens from ingress to the halls of legislation, is in violation ol section 28 article I of the declaration o? rights of the State constitution. 7. Because, by section 27 of article 2 of the Slate constitution, "the doors ol each bouse shall be open, except on such occasions as in the opinion of thc House may require secrecy, wheii tuc tact is, that from day to day, a body ol Stat? constabulary guarded each door, and re fused admittance to the citizens of the Stute and the representatives ot thc peo ple. 8. Because the House of Representa tives, in my opinion, ia un illegal anti unconstitutional body; therefore it fol' lows that the bill* heroin especially pro tested have not originated or becu ruad three times in thc House of Representa tives, aa required by sections 18 aud 21 of arr ,ic 2 of tuc Constitution. 9. Because thc bills protested against will be presented for appro val to a person who bas been declared elected Uovcrnoi of this State uy an i'.legal House ol Rep resentutives, and his election d?termin?e by the General Assumbly in palpable umi open disregard of section 4 article 3 o thu constitution. 10. Because thc fundamental principh of popular government, in spirit as wei as in letter, recognizes the fact that then shall be uo taxation without representa tion. It is, in this case, violated by th? absence trout the lower House ot tut representation of thc people of more thai one-half of thu counties of the State, am tbe exclusion from the Senate of the rep it.-cni.ii.ion noni i in vc couillic ). 11. Because, even if the House of Rep rosentativea was a legal and coustitutioua body, the taxes proposed aro exorbitant unjust and unreasonable, and the appro priationa mudo are, in many casca, ex travagant, uucalled for, and should no be levi:*! and thus appropriated, in tin present depressed condition of the State For these reasons, ? enter my solemt protest against thc passage of these bijia and am all the moro constrained to wita hold my sanction from thom, because behove that, being without touudatiou o law, they must tail of the purpose lo which they arr designed, and so leav the maintenance of our educational charitable aud penal institutions wuou unprovided lor; tho government of u. Slate witiiout thc ways and means of it sustenance ; the courts of justice cios.i aud Uierciu and thereby invite u couui tion of anarchy and ruin winch the pee pie will be powerless, in tue absence t constituted authority, to ave i. i IH791ENEAL.
